About

Amaris Emersleben (* in Stans, Switzerland) is a recording artist, music producer, author, and actor. Her most recent album “Love and Oceans” was released in 2023.

Amaris grew up in Central Switzerland as the daughter of a teacher and a musician and professor for music. Her family is from the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Switzerland, which is why she grew up with English, German, and Dutch. After her parents’ divorce, she moved to Zurich where she attended school.

Amaris received her formal training at drama school in Zurich, and later at the Stage & Musical School in Frankfurt, Germany, where she started to listen to electronic music for her dance studies. Being new to subjects such as Ballet, Jazz Dance, and Modern Dance, Amaris needed to train in the evenings in her free time to achieve the levels of the other students. She then started the dance floor project “Geiko– female electronic dance music”, the first album of which was released in 2014. Although she had already released music earlier, this was her first official album.

After returning to Zurich for a while to complete a degree in Business Law and to work as a playlist manager for Sony Music, she later moved to London where she started working on her first synth-pop-influenced album “Neon Colours”, which was well-received by critics. In 2018, she released “Aquamarine”, a full-length album inspired by the oceans. This was followed by “26”, a brooding and thoughtful album, in 2019.

In 2020, Amaris released her most recent album “Dream World”, which became her most successful release so far, with the song “Dream World” receiving 100k streams on Spotify alone. For the release, Amaris worked on a few remotely filmed music videos, such as “No Signal” filmed in London and Zurich, and “Sunsets”, which was filmed in London and Los Angeles. Earlier last year in 2021, her retro-futurism inspired single “Time Traveler” was released, which was called “a synth pop sensation” by The Indie Source. In 2023, she released the album “Love and Oceans“.

Amaris is very vocal on the protection of the oceans, and is an ambassador for the non-profit organization Big Blue Ocean Clean-up, which works to reduce plastic waste in the oceans. Her fantasy story ‘Lagoona: A Journey through the Reef’, published in 2022, raises awareness for the disappearing coral reefs and ocean pollution.
